I spent three days in Vienna. I went there because I was bored and hoped for more fun in the city. It turned into a three day shopping trip and I ended up with green pants, nice shoes and an external harddrive (just to name a few things I bought).
I also went to one of my favorite museums (it seems to be a new tradition that I go to an exhibition every time I spent some time in Vienna) and it was fun. For the first time I actually thought of bringing a pen and some paper to write down things I like. I'm really bad at remembering names, so my previous visits at museums went more like that
"Ohhh, that's an amazing piece of art. I'm going to keep that name in mind" ...a few minutes later... "Wow, I love that. Who's the artist? I'll keep that in mind too...wait, what was the name of the other artist? um..." ...five paintings later... "I like that too. I'll never remember that artist's name longer than 10 seconds! WHY DIDN'T I BRING PEN AND PAPER?! AHHH!"
This time I brought something to write and wrote down everything I liked. I went to the Museum of Art History where you can see the same paintings all year long, but they also have some extra exhibitions through the year. This time they had Jan Fabre and they put his art in the middle of the other old paintings and it looked really cool. He drew all his things with blue BIC ball pens and it was really impressive. I wondered how many ball pens he used for his work and then it reminded me of John Green and all his Sharpies he uses to sign his not yet published books.
Oh, and I also found two sleeping people while I was at the museum (which I also wrote down). Two men, one of them was a guy who works at the museum. Ha, sleeping at work! I caught ya!
Back home I didn't do much. I started to watch Twin Peaks yesterday night somewhere between one and four AM and I'm already obsessed. So good.
And today I made a skirt out of a dress. I had this dress for a while and never wore it. I wore it once, then my mom put it into the washing machine and when it came out again it was to small and especially way too short (not my mom's fault btw). That's why I cut of the the top and made a skirt of the bottom part. I like it now and hope to wear it soon.
Here are some pictures of all the stuff I just told you and other pictures of stuff, like my picture wall I made for my room at my parents' house. I finally have one here.
(1) new shoes. (2) one of the outfits I wore in Vienna. Shorts: Forever21, white top: NewYorker, blouse: H&M (customized: I cut off the sleeves and some other parts...which you all can't see), tights: ???, bracelet: gift from an aunt. (3) part of my picture wall featuring Elizabeth Taylor, Johnny Depp, Picasso, Twiggy and others (can you find them?). (4) bun and Zombicorns. (5) at the museum. (6) more pictures wall with Salvador Dalí, Yuri Gagarin and others. (7) my "new" skirt. (8) screenshot from Twin Peaks. (9) more picture wall.
I hope you had a great week as well. I'm off now watching some more Twin Peaks and probably think about what to study at university. Yes, you heard it right. I'll probably return to university. Blah. I have 17 days left to decide what I want to study, so fingers crossed that I figure it out soooon.
I love that polka dot skirt!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck deciding on your university course. My brother finds out if he's been accepted to uni. on Thursday, so we're all really nervous about that right now. I love him, of course, but I really hope he leaves in September!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I go to London, I always go to a different exhibition, but like you I can never remember the artists. In Paris, there was one painting that I especially loved, so I took a photo of it and also of the little placard next to it, with the title, painter's name & date, so I can remember it.
Your shoes are awesome.
Lovin' the skirt Antonia! Way to be resourceful. I would've just thrown it in a pile to donate or something =)
ReplyDeleteAntonia! Do you remember me?! I haven't blogged i so long and I've decided I need to get back into it. I'm so impressed that you've kept it up for so long! How are you?
ReplyDeleteShaynie: thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLibby: I know what you mean with your brother. I have two older brothers myself and I know that feeling. I hope he can go to uni.
And taking a pic of the placard is a good idea, but often you're not allowed to take any pictures at exhibitions :/
Natalie: Haha, thanks. I decided not to throw away clothes and things away that fast.
Suzanne: Sure! It made my day (well, more my night) when I saw your comment. So glad to hear from you again. I'd say I'm doing good. What's more interesting is how YOU are doing (I mean, you can read pretty much everything I'm doing on my blog, but I don't know what you've been up to the last months/year). So you wanna get back into blogging? I can't wait! :)
